Chapter 7 resuming our Corpse Party from last chapter!
Satoshi: Herochan1313 doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or Corpse Party, just OC's and plot.
"So Herochan was right about this place being a whole mess of different versions then?" Sora asked the ghost when it had finished speaking. Once Sora woke up he found
himself with Herochan, Darkness and two new people in what looked like a school. One of the strangers introduced himself as Satoshi Mochida [1] he was dressed in a
student's uniform and said he was from a place called Kisaragi academy. The young middle school girl that was covering behind him was his little sister Yuka Mochida
[2].Herochan seemed to know the two but he was a bit jittery at being here and Darkness was attached to her boyfriend. "Indeed, I do not understand why your friend knew
of the nexuses but he is right. Thought five of you entered this living hell only three of you remained together unless you find a way to traverse the spaces. But that matters
not, you will all die here in some way, by starvation, betrayal, or even insanity. All who are trapped here will leave this world and experience the pain of your death for all time."
The ghost had been there when they all awoke and Sora, while surprised about the spirit, had decided to talk to it to learn more about this world. However the ghost's
negative outlook just fueled Sora's desire to find kairi and escape, something the ghost respected and told Sora to keep strong. "So, now that you'd lured me back to this hell
hole Sora, I take it you expect me to risk what little time we now have to find your girlfriend?" Herochan asked Sora who nodded. "I have to find my friends as well, so we
should stick together Herochan."Satoshi added as the group left the room. The halls of the school were just as bad as the classroom they had just left; with huge chunks of
floor missing, human skeletons littering the floors, and papers with less than ideal messages written on them. They were about a quarter way into the main hallway when little
Yuka told her brother to stop and held something out to Satoshi. It was a small bottle filled with cinnamon smelling beads; she gave it to her brother saying it was a charm that
would keep him safe. Satoshi tried to let her keep it but his sibling insisted so he pocketed the bottle and the group resumed. They had just passed a few rooms that had more
corpses when they felt a chill in the air by a gaping hole. They turned and right before their eyes another ghost appeared. This ghost was different that the blue flame they had
talked to earlier as it had a "body" of a little boy. They all stopped, Darkness stated to cry again, and were going to slowly walk by when the ghost looked Satoshi and the high
school student froze. Before he knew what he was doing Satoshi had started to walk towards the ghost: who was hovering over a hole. "I...Can't control my body." Satoshi
thought as he was forced to walk across a narrow floorboard towards the little boy. "Satoshi stop!" Sora cried as he tried to grab the boy, but Herochan stopped him and said.
"Don't! Get too close to that ghost and you'll be doing the same thing!" They continued to yell at Satoshi, who was now at the edge of the board, and just as Satoshi was
about to fall to his death the bottle of scented beads fell out of his pocket and caught the ghost's attention. The ghost picked up the bottle and began to sniff deeply, then after
a while he faded away. By this point Satoshi could control his limbs again and backed away slowly, and once he was back on solid ground his sister began to cry a bit. "That
was way too close for comfort guys. We need to keep our guard up." Herochan said once Satoshi made sure he was okay. They resumed exploring the abandoned rooms
finding nothing more than dead bodies and bloody notes. This went on for a while until Yuka said she needed to use the restroom and they all went up to the third floor
restrooms. Yuka was scared to go in alone so Darkness went along with her, but as soon as they went in the room Sora, Satoshi, and Herochan heard a very loud. "Bloody
hell!" and a stranger appeared. He certainly looked lost at Heavenly Host as he was a lanky middle aged man who looked more at home in the Australian outback then at a
haunted school. He had dirty blonde hair that was poorly combed under a stereotypical outback hat and he wore an ill fitting and dirty trench coat. He had a few bundles on his
back filled with god knows what and his blue eyes told a tale that was filled with adventure.[3]He noticed the three boys and with a sigh of relief said. "Great gobs it's good to
see you little mates! I was starting to think I was the only bloke round here!" His voice was deep yet he spoke calmly, so he wasn't insane, but upon further looking at
Herochan he placed a finger on his chin and said. "Hold on a tick…haven't I seen you before mate?" He reached into his coat pocket to pull out a grubby picture and then
exclaimed. "That's right! Your that brat king that's been messing with our plans!" The man then backed up ready to attack showing that he was with the Existed. "Damn it! I
don't have my powers in this world! We'll be screwed here if an Existed still has power!"Herochan thought and he attempted to shield Satoshi and Sora. "The name's Rugon
mates! Best remember that as the name of your killer!" The Existed said as his arm shifted into a tentacle… then it turned towards Rugon and slapped him in the nose. "Ouch!
Me sniffer!" The Existed cried as his arm returned to normal and he rubbed his nose. The guys snickered at this and the Existed reached for one of his bundles and drew a gun.
"Laugh while you can mates! Me powers might be on the fritz but you can't block a bullet!" He then tried to fire the gun but it just refused to fire. Rugon looked at them then
put the gun away and with a quick wave he said. "Later days mates!" Then hightailed it. Sora was about to run after him but Satoshi held him back and told his new friend.
"Leave him Sora! I don't know who he was but right now we need to find our friends above all else." As if on cue they heard the voice of Darkness call them from the bathroom
and they went in to see what was up.
When Auzuel awoke she found herself next to Riku and three strangers. Two of them appeared to be students, a girl and boy both high school students. The third was an older
woman who was their teacher. The girl had bright blue hair similar to Auzuel's but darker and wore a schoolgirl uniform from some place called Kisaragi academy and introduced
herself as Ayumi Shinozaki [4]. The boy was a blonde boy who wore a black jacket over a red shirt and had an air of coolness. He introduced himself as Yoshiki Kishinuma [5].
Their teacher was an older woman, in her late twenties at best, and was kind towards Auzuel and introduced herself as Yui Shishido [6]. By this point Riku was up and helping
his girlfriend why they were there to the other three. This must have been a touchy subject as Ayumi started to sob and shake muttering something about a charm and how it
was her fault. Yoshiki placed a gentle hand on his classmate's shoulder and told her. "We already told you Shinozaki, whatever brought us here wasn't your fault." "He's right
Shinozaki; you're not responsible in any way for this. Now I really should go and try to find the others…" added. "Excuse me, ? Are you saying there are others here besides us
and our friends?" Riku asked the teacher in concern. Ms. Yui nodded and explained. "A few seconds before we found you two in this room I heard one of my other students,
Naomi, crying out in the halls. I was going to investigate but then Shinozaki started to panic…: Auzuel nodded in understanding and placed a hand on Riku's as she told the
teacher. "We understand ! We can help Yoshiki watch over Ayumi while you're gone! It's the least we can do for someone who's been kind to us!" Ms. Yui smiled at the girl and
turned to leave when Ayumi started to beg her not to go. handed the girl a crystal she had found to calm her then left the classroom. "By the way Yoshiki, where are we
anyway?" Riku asked. "You won't believe it, but we're in the ruins of an old elementary school named Heavenly Host .At least that's what we saw printed on a paper we read
on the wall." The high school student answered. After a while hadn't returned and Ayumi was insisting on finding her. They all agreed and left a poorly written note on the
teacher's desk for Ms. Yui should she return. They searched the barren halls not finding much of anything. That is until Yoshiki got his jacket caught on something on a wall, and
the wall fell open to reveal a cluster of corpses. It was right there that Auzuel lost not only her calm but also her lunch.
"It hurts… It…hurts." Kairi couldn't believe it, but right in front of her was an honest to goodness ghost crying out in pain. She was paralyzed with fear, as was Naomi and Seiko
but she took a risk by stepping closer. "Are you okay?" She asked the ghost while trying not to scream. Her two new friends looked at her in shock, and for a good reason: she
was talking to a ghost! "Y-o-u want to… help me?" The ghost asked in a now normal voice. Kairi was still shivering but strangely she could tell that this spirit wasn't bad at all, it
was just in pain. "Yes, I'll try. Why are you in pain?" Kairi answered causing the ghost to pause. "It's this accursed place. I was trapped here long ago like you are now. I… did
not last long and in this living hell whatever pain you felt as you died will be bounded to your soul for all eternity." Kairi took this all in was going to help the ghost when Naomi
asked the spirit if it knew anything about who trapped them here. "I do not know who the cause for our entrapment is but I do know that it matters not. All who are brought
here die in some way or another. Be lucky you three have each other for company." Naomi picked up on this and had to ask. "Wait! What about our friends? Aren't they here as
well?" The ghost thought on this before answering. "I did sense a lot of fresh souls entering the nexuses at the same time. Perhaps your friends are here but alas you shall
never see them. This place is a cluster of closed spaces, and while your friends may be in this school, they are in a different version." This brought Naomi and Seiko's hopes up
but Kairi was still a bit depressed seeing as she didn't have any friends looking for her, As if it noticed this the ghost told Kairi. "Do not fret kind one, I also sensed a number of
strange souls similar to yours enter this school. You may not find them... but you can rest easy knowing you were not forgotten." Kairi smiled at this and thanked the ghost just
as it began to fade away. The three girls then got up and headed for the halls again and after a brief talk decided to find someplace to rest Naomi's ankle. They tried the girl's
restroom on the third floor but while Seiko went in to "apply medicine" on herself Naomi and Kairi heard a small girl crying for her brother: went back to the first floor and were
heading towards the entrance when they passed a hallway and Seiko stepped in something. She shrieked and stepped back and the three saw what she had stepped in:
Gore. All on the wall at this hall's end was a large amount of blood and what looked like human intestines. That was all Kairi could take she keeled in a nearby corner and
vomited, Naomi did the same and Seiko had to help her friends settle down. "God… What happened here?" Kairi finally said once the vomit stopped coming out. "I think it's
better if we don't think about it. Let's go." Naomi said as she led the two down the hall towards the infirmary. Seiko used a key that the ghost had left behind on its corpse to
open the door and they entered. It was a smaller room then the classrooms they had been in, and compared to those rooms it was the least damaged. The floors were still
missing in some places and everything was still dusty but it was still the cleanest room they'd been in so far. Naomi and Kairi plopped down on one of the beds in the corner
while Seiko searched the shelf in the room for something. She came back with a small piece of wood and tape and using them created a makeshift splint for Naomi's leg. "There
all done! Sorry I couldn't find some ice to help with it." Seiko chirped as she sat down on the bed. Naomi scooted up to the second bed all the way to the corner with Kairi and
Seiko following. "Hey Naomi, why are you all bunched up in the corner like that?" Seiko asked her friend. "I just like it." Was Naomi's response and the three girls began to
giggle. Seiko then started to drool and make a strange sound and Kairi, who was lying between the two friends, asked her what was up. "It's nothing much but whenever I see
Naomi's ass I just have to drool." Kairi couldn't believe what she just heard but Naomi just dismissed the comment as if she'd heard it before and the girls resumed their break.
"Say Naomi, you know what we should do if we find Satoshi here?" Seiko asked her friend. "What?" Naomi asked her friend as she turned to her. "Well you should confess your
love for him! You know that in a place like this you'll look 30% cuter!" Seiko answered with a giggle. Naomi blushed, Kairi assumed Satoshi was one of their friends, and didn't
answer so Seiko went to Kairi. "What about you Kairi? Is there anyone you like?" It was Kairi's turn to blush now as she stumbled with an answer. "Well I do have a boyfriend
who should be here…" This grabbed the other two's attention and Seiko asked. "Is he cute? What's his name? Come on spill it!" Kairi was embarrassed as she rarely prattled
on about her relationship with Sora but she answered anyway. "His name's Sora and he's the handsomest guy I know. He's the best boyfriend any girl can have, brave,
honest, caring, not to mention the fact that he's been taking me to all these amazing worlds. When we get back to our islands I really hope we can share a Paopu fruit
together…" The other two giggled at this and Naomi asked what Kairi meant about the Paopu. After Kairi explained about the magic fruit Seiko said. "That sounds so romantic
Kairi! If we get out here you should let Naomi try that with Satoshi!" Naomi started to playfully hit her friend but then all three girls heard a young girl's voice call out. "Big
brother!" From the halls. Another voice, that sounded very familiar to Kairi, followed with. "Herochan!" The girls sat up and Naomi said. "That sounded like Yuka again!" Kairi
then realized where she had heard the other voice from and added. "And that was my friend Darkness! We have to find them!" Naomi tried to get up but Seiko told her to stay
there and rest while she went to check out the halls. She told Kairi to stand guard then left the infirmary to search the halls. The two girls waited for a few minutes making small
talk but Naomi couldn't stay still and got off the bed to leave. But when she reached the door she found that it wouldn't open anymore. "It's just like the windows from the
classrooms, like a wall decoration." Naomi told Kairi as they tried to open the door. Both girls then felt a sudden chill in the room and turned around. A black mist was forming in
the middle of the room and whatever it was the girls didn't like the vibe it was emitting. They tried to open the door but while the door was back to normal it was now covered
in hair. The mist got closer to them and they began to panic they ran to the other side of the room to find something to open the door but the mist grabbed them. Its grip was
like nothing Kairi had felt before; it was as if someone was forcing the life out of her. She struggled to get away and saw a bottle of rubbing alcohol just as Naomi found a box
of matches. Using both items they managed to burn the hairs covering the door and escaped just as the mist reached for them again. Once outside in the safety of the hallway
both girls fell to their knees and for the second time that day they threw up.
Upon entering the girl's restroom Herochan saw why Darkness had called them in: The floor that was once under the bathroom stalls was no longer there. "Whoa, looks like
this place is a no go." Herochan said as he saw the damage. "Yuka, do you think you can hold it in until we find another bathroom?" Satoshi asked his sister. She nodded but
they could tell that may have been a tough order for the little girl to fill. Darkness noticed the look of worry on her king's face and asked him what was wrong. "When you guys
came in here we bumped into another Existed. He couldn't use his powers at all so we don't have to do anything about him… but I'm worried as to how he got in here."
Darkness gave him a peck on the check to calm him, and the group left to find another bathroom. Sora was lagging a bit thought, his mind cluttered with thoughts of Kairi. Yuka
noticed this and asked if there was something wrong. The little girl was smiling at him and Sora found it hard not to smile a little himself. "It's nothing Yuka; I'm just worried
about one of my friends." The middle school student offered a hand to Sora to help guide him to the others and told him. "It's okay oni-chan! We'll find your friend really soon!"
Sora smiled at the child's glee and accepted her hand as his "little sister" led her "big brother" to Satoshi and the others. The group didn't know what to do next exactly but as
they were walking an earthquake hit and they were forced to drop to the floor. After several minutes the intense shaking stopped and they had the strangest feeling that
something was different. Sure enough upon searching the school again they found a new door at the end of the first floor hallo leading to the second wing of the school. Once
they stepped through it they found a sight for sore eyes as they were outside the building. They stood on a bridge of sorts that connected the two wings of the school and
apart from the pouring rain they were glad to be outside away from all the blood. Pass a built-in fence was a dense forest that Satoshi suggested they go through. But both
Herochan and Sora vetoed this as they didn't want to abandon their friends, plus the forest didn't look safer then the school. After resting for a second they went further on to
the second wing entrance. No sooner had they stepped in the huge room that welcomed them to the second wing did they feel something in the air that made their heads feel
as if they were being split open. "Big brother! I don't like it here!' Yuka said to her brother as she held her head. They would have turned back if not for the fact that their
friends might have been there so they continued. However Darkness wasn't in the best shape in this strange atmosphere so they had to rush her back to the first wing
infirmary before anything happened. On the way they all heard a strange clicking followed by a flash, as if someone was using a camera, and one the wall just above the
infirmary was someone taking a picture of the gore splattered all over. He must have been another Kisaragi student because he wore a uniform similar to Satoshi's but black.
He had light violet hair, glasses and was using a cell phone to take pictures of the gore. [7]. "Morishige!" Satoshi cried bringing the new guy back to earth. The students
seemed to know each other and after Satoshi introduced Sora, Darkness, and Herochan he asked his classmate if he had seen anyone else. "I'm afraid not Mochida, I just woke
up a little while ago down this hall. I just stumbled over these female remains and had to see if it was real." While the gore was real Sora had no idea how this kid could tell
whoever it used to be was a girl. As if to answer Sora's question Morishige pointed to the middle of the gore, somehow not being sickened by it like the others, and pointed out
that some of the flesh mixed in was breast meat (how on earth he knew that Sora didn't want to know.). "That reminds me Mochida, have you seen Suzomoto around here? I
have to find her fast." Morishige asked. Satoshi admitted they hadn't seen this girl and with a promise to meet up in class 1-A later. Once Morishige had left Darkness started to
have breathing problems so they all entered the infirmary and laid her on the bed. After a while she was sleeping soundly and the others decided to take a nap as well to
regain their strength.
Auzuel had to get Riku out of there fast. Once the four of them stumbled on the rotting skeletons, some of which had huge holes in their skulls, Ayumi had trouble breathing and
Riku started to babble under his breath. Yoshiki and Auzuel managed to drag them away further down the hall and the two were now madly yelling random things at them.
Auzuel and Yoshiki made no sense of it because as soon as their friends stopped yelling they were back to normal not remembering what they had just did. Ayumi however was
still insisting on finding Ms. Yui, So much that she seemed to be obsessed on it, and they resumed searching. As they explored the first floor halls Auzuel sensed something was
wrong with Riku and pulled him away to talk to him. "Riku are you okay? You haven't said one word since we started searching." Auzuel asked her boyfriend. Riku shrugged her
off and said. "I'm fine Zu… it's just ever since we got here I can feel him again." She didn't need to ask to know who he was talking about: Xehanort's heartless. "But… King
Mickey told you that your darkness is your own! And I doubt that Darkness is in the mood to be messing with your heart right now." She told him. He frowned and hugged her,
surprising her a bit. "I know Zu, but I can sense it in my heart. I think I'll be okay so long as I'm with you." She smiled and kissed him on the check as she told him. "Of course! I
love you Riku, and I will protect you no matter what!" The couple stayed like this for a while then rejoined Ayumi and Yoshiki in the hunt. Near the infirmary they paused and
heard a female voice inside talking to someone. It must have been someone Ayumi and Yoshiki knew because the both of them cried. "Suzomoto!" And barged in. Inside the
room was possible the scariest thing Auzuel had ever seen: A female student was talking to two ghost in the form of children. Both ghosts were female but one of them was
missing her left eye, and the other was missing everything above her jaw line. It took all her strength for Auzuel not to vomit again but she didn't need to worry as Yoshiki told
the girl in the middle to get away from the ghost. "They won't hurt me Kishinuma-san! I've been talking to these poor souls for a while now after I read that newspaper article."
The girl, Suzomoto, said as she handed them said newspaper. She wore the same uniform that Ayumi was wearing but was a bit chubby and had light brown hair tied up in a
mini-bun. [8] The other four read the little article but it was short seeing as it was missing the ending and soaked in blood. "NOTICE! This is an update on the current
kidnappings at Heavenly Host School! The four missing children were found trapped in the school's basement along with a confused teacher who is believed to be the
kidnapper. Three of the four children were killed however, by the use of the rusty scissors found on the teacher's person." Auzuel couldn't stand anymore of this and tried
to force the girl away from the ghost but the two spirits revealed their true colors as they created a forced field around Suzomoto and started to levitate her away. Both Yoshiki
and Riku tried to force they way pass but were knocked away like flies. With nothing to do the group rushed outside the room to think. They had no idea how to free their friend
and were about to lose hope when a voice from the hallway ahead of them said. "If you cannot find a way to appease those ghosts, then your friend will be killed." They saw
that the source of this voice was another student, a girl in a bright red uniform that had pale blue hair, a pentagram hair band and red hair beads, and eyes that looked like
those of a dead fish that were staring at them pass her glasses. [9] Yoshiki and Riku stood up front ready to fight the girl and Yoshiki demanded to know who she was. The girl
simply stared at them, showing no emotion, as she answered. "My name is Naho Saenoki; I am a student of a Paulowina academy who died in these halls." The boys relaxed a
bit as Ayumi then exclaimed. "You're Naho-san! The author from the website I found the Sachiko charm on!" Naho nodded, still not showing much emotion, and said. "Yes, it's
surprising to find a fan here of all places, but as I said you need to find a way to appease the ghosts who have your friend." They asked her what she meant by that and she
explained that the only way to free Suzomoto was to calm the ghost by having the one that killed them admit their guilt. However seeing as these two ghosts had been killed
over twenty years ago it was unlikely that they could find the killer and get him to admit guilt. Still with nothing else to go on the four of them when to search the school hoping
the killer's soul was bound here as well. They said goodbye to Naho and went on their way, not noticing the author eyeing Riku and whispering. "His darkness…"
Ayumi had little hopes that they could find the killer in so short of time but she hoped she was wrong. The group's efforts paid off as they found a small doll's head and its body
hidden in the halls and when they put the doll together it said this. "I did not mean to kill them. I love children. Please forgive me, I am so sorry." Thinking that the doll belonged
to the killer they counted it as his guilt and quickly brought it back to Suzomoto's captors. Upon facing the ghost again Ayumi held up the doll and yelled. "Please! You have to
listen to this!" She made the doll talk again and once it repeated its message the ghost paused. Then the one who was missing her eye cried out. "MOMY!" and the two ghost
carried Suzomoto out of the room at breakneck speed. The group ran after her but were two late as they found the remains of poor Suzomoto on the wall, right where the gore
that the other groups had encountered was.
To be continued! Hope you weren't thinking of leavening this party so early! I do apologize if I missed something as I do not remember the events of Corpse Party 100%. Next
chapter the party gets more "Un-livelier" as the party struggles to keep alive and sane. Until then readers! Also I've decided to add something new to the plot of Naho as she
was possibly my favorite character from the game.
[1]Satoshi Mochida: A student from Kisaragi academy who was trapped in Heavenly host alongside his friends. Despite the fact that he was a real coward he was forced to be
brave in order to stay calm while protecting his younger sister Yuka. He first appeared in Corpse Party.
[2]Yuka Mochida: Satoshi's younger sister, she was bringing her brother his umbrella on the day she was trapped with him in Heavenly Host. While she was scared of the
school she made a promise to her brother to not cry, although that was the least of her problems. She first appeared in Corpse Party.
[3] Rugon: An Existed solider who somehow entered Heavenly host, although like Herochan and the others his powers cannot be used. He appears too been quite dirty and
had a few strangle bundles on him, so it's a mystery what his powers were.
[4] Ayumi Shinozaki: The class president of the Kisaragi class, Ayumi is known for having a love for occult things and as such she may have been responsible for the Heavenly
Host incident. She also had moments where she would start yelling nonsense at her friend Yoshiki, seemingly channeling the pain from the corpses around her. She first
appeared in Corpse Party.
[5]Yoshiki Kishinuma: A smooth looking "cool kid" from Kisaragi, Yoshiki may look like a punk but his heart is pure as anyone else's. While trapped in Heavenly Host he was with
Ayumi and vowed to protect her at all cost since he owes her a great debt for helping him stay in school. As such he values the friendship of Ayumi a lot, to the point that he
might harbor a crush for her, but when she started going crazy at Heavenly Host he kind of lost it to. He first appeared in Corpse Party PSP.
[6] Yui Shishido: The English teacher at Kisaragi who was trapped at Heavenly Host alongside her students. She treats her students as a mother would her children and cared
deeply for them, to the point of sacrificing her life for Ayumi. She first appeared in Corpse Party PSP.
[7] Sakutaro Morishige: A normally quiet student from Kisaragi, Morishige turned mad after realizing that he had dug through the innards of his classmate Mayu Suzomoto while
he was looking for her. He had started to take pictures of the corpse to stay sane and when he gazed at the picture of Mayu's remains he heard her voice and was driven
insane to the point that he took his life. He first appeared in Corpse Party PSP.
[8] Mayu Suzomoto: A cheery girl from Kisaragi academy who was trapped in Heavenly Host. It was her last day at Kisaragi the day she and her friends were trapped in the
haunted halls of the school when she encountered two of the children ghost bound to the school and was killed. She may have had feelings for her fellow classmate Morishige
but in the end she was the one who drove him insane, or at least her voice. She first appeared in Corpse Party PSP.
[9] Naho Saenoki: An online author who knew of the way in and out of Heavenly Host, she came to the school looking for someone very close to her and died. Strangely enough
unlike everyone else who died at the school she retained her body. She acted as a guide for the Kisaragi students but was found out to be the cause of them being trapped in
the first place. She first appeared in Corpse Party PSP
